Please read the bio before sending questions - we answer all we know about the dog here. If the question is not answered in the bio please send emails to infoHeidisLegacyDogRescue Hi there...’my name is Kato and I am only 115 lbs, firmly believe I’m a lap dog, and I come with some important baggage… My rubber ducky collection. I LOVE my duckies. I’ll even throw one at you when I want to play—and my aim is suspiciously good. A few other things about me: Dirty paws? I’ll put MYSELF in the bathtub and wait for service. Plot twist: my best friend is a CAT. ️ I talk, I howl, and I definitely have opinions. Peanut butter = life. I also eat vegetables because apparently I’m sophisticated. ️ I sleep on my back like I worked a double shift. ❤️ And I will absolutely try to fit all 115 lbs of me into your personal space for cuddles. And between you and me…if somebody happened to have room for BOTH me and my cat bestie, I’d be one very happy 115-lb boy. ❤️ I mean, I’m already losing my couch—I’d really rather not lose my bestie too. I’m house trained, know my commands, LOVE people, and grew up going to the office every day with my person—so I’m pretty darn good at playing when it’s playtime and just hanging out when it’s not. One important thing: I’m wary of boy dogs, so homes with male dogs will only be considered if your guy is EXTREMELY docile. Foster OR Foster-to-Adopt ❤️ Foster-to-Adopt preferred ⏰ I NEED SOMEWHERE BY SUNDAY Tampa Bay So…who has room for 115 lbs of handsome, a collection of rubber duckies, and maybe my cat bestie too? ❤️ PLEASE SHARE. I’m on a deadline! Kato's adoption fee is $600 - obedience training is required after adoption and fully enclosed front or backyard is also required.

Overview:
The German Shepherd Dog, a truly iconic breed, originated in Germany in the late 19th century, primarily for herding sheep. They are easily recognizable by their athletic, medium-to-large build, typically weighing between 50-90 pounds, with a distinct double coat that can be black and tan, sable, or solid black. Known for their intelligence and loyalty, German Shepherds possess a remarkably trainable and courageous temperament, making them exceptional working dogs in fields like police and service work. While generally good with families when properly socialized, their high energy levels and need for mental stimulation make them unsuitable for apartment living without significant daily exercise. Prospective owners should be aware of common health concerns such as hip and elbow dysplasia, as well as degenerative myelopathy, underscoring the importance of responsible breeding and regular veterinary care.
